Hello everyone,

New member here and looking for some advice, help and suggestions as I get started in the activity of owning a waterjet boat. I am real early in building a jetboat just for fishing here on the lake and some local rivers. Speed is not a priority so I am concentrating on the design of the boat and the combination of the engine and jet pump. I have just purchased a used Yamaha Wave Raider 700 jet pump complete and will do a complete clean and over haul of this unit.

I have two questions to start with:
1) Who is the best supplier ( or suppliers ) of parts for maintaining the jet pump?
2) What is the RPM that you operate your jet pump at "say" normal cruising speed?

Thank you in advance,
JetSkiff
